Hoisting Engines. 


GREETING. 

Allis-Chalmers Company feels that it needs no introduction to the great mining world. 

1 he accumulated experience of more than four decades of successful practice in de¬ 
signing and building mining machinery to be operated under an almost infinite variety of 
conditions has caused this Company’s name to be favorably known in every part of the 
globe where mining operations are carried on. 

We assure the mining fraternity that we are deeply gratified by their evident apprecia¬ 
tion of our efforts in the interest of progress and quality of product. 

As our reputation is built upon this foundation there will be no diminution of our 
efforts to always maintain for our products the foremost place with those whose business 
success depends upon their employing the most modern appliances and practice which have 
been proven to be absolutely reliable and commercially correct. 

COMPLETE HOISTING EOLTPMENTS—We are now devoting especial atten¬ 
tion to the designing and building of complete hoisting equipments for metal and coal mines. 

We solicit enquiries upon this subject. 

We are prepared to furnish complete hoisting equipments for any service or tonnage. 
These will comprise not only the latest and most economical winding plants operated by either 
steam, electricity, water or air as local conditions may make desirable, but also single and 
multi-decked cages, self-dumping skips for vertical or inclined shafts, timber skips of the lat¬ 
est design, bailing tanks, shaft chairs, cars, buckets, safety detaching hooks, sheave wheels, 
pneumatically operated ore gates for loading skips from the shaft pockets according to the 
latest practice, and everything necessary for the safe and most economical handling of the 
broken material from the mine to the shipping bins, mill or breaker, as well as all accessory 
appliances. 

EXPERIENCED ENGINEERS—We have a corps of experienced engineers skilled 
in hoisting work whose services are at your disposal for advise upon all hoisting questions. 

Our prices are as low as is consistent with the employment of the proper material 
and workmanship in the production of the machinery to absolutely safeguard the lives of 
men and the property handled by the hoists. 

HOISTS ERECTED AND TRIED IN THE SHOPS—Every hoist we build is 
completely assembled and turned over in our erecting shop before it leaves the works. 

Each part when fitted to its proper place is marked with a steel stamp so that no diffi¬ 
culty may occur when the machine is installed at the mine. 

If desired we will furnish competent men to superintend the erection work. 


DATA REQUIRED TO MAKE ESTIMATES—In estimating on a hoisting equip¬ 
ment for your requirements it is necessary for us to have the following data: 

1 — The number of tons of ore "or coal to be hoisted in a given time. 

2 — The weight and capacity of the cage, skips or tubs if these are already on the 

ground. 

3 — (a) The maximum depth of the shaft from which it is desired to hoist, (b) If 

not a vertical shaft, the length of the incline or slope and its greatest inclination 
from the horizontal or its grade in percentage. 

4— If possible send a rough sketch showing the size of the shaft compartments in the 

clear, the size and position of the guide timbers and the center-to-center dis¬ 
tances of the compartments. 

5 — Give the steam pressure to be employed; or if you intend using electricity advise 

us as to the voltage, phase and frequency of the current. 

(3—How much time during each 24 hours will be available for hoisting mine prod¬ 
ucts after deducting the time required for handling men and timbers. 

7— Will the hoisting be “balanced” or “unbalanced”? 

8 — Do you prefer any particular system of hoisting? 

9— Please advise us as to transportation facilities, as such information is often an im¬ 

portant factor to be considered in designing a plant. 

10 — The capacities given in this catalogue under the head of “Maximum Gross Load” 

refer to the greatest total load under which the engines will start with the cranks 
in any position. 


“ LOAD/' 

EXPLANATION OF THE TERM AS IT IS USED IN CONNECTION WITH RAIS¬ 
ING ORE FROM MINES. 

In hoisting engine transactions it is absolutely necessary that the exact Cleaning of the 
word “load” should be understood by both parties. 

In order to avoid confusion we call the amount of ore raised the “net load,” and the 
weight of ore, car, cage and rope the “total load.” The last item, “rope,” is very frequently 
overlooked in correspondence about hoisting engines. In the case of flat rope hoisting 
from deep mines, the weight of the rope is usually greater than the remainder of the total load. 
Considering this, it can be appreciated that the weight of the rope has great influence in deter¬ 
mining the size of a hoisting engine. 

Where hoisting is done with the weight of certain parts of the total load counterbal¬ 
ancing the weight of others, hoisting is said to be “in balance.” The remaining weight is 
“unbalanced load.” and is that which the engine must lift, but the strength of the various 
parts, such as clutches, shaft, etc., must be proportioned to stand the total load. Hence, it is 
not sufficient to state the amount of the unbalanced load only.

PORTABLE HOISTS. 


Our Portable Hoists are built with single or double drums. They are unsurpassed 
in compactness, durability and simplicity of construction. The engines of double cylinder 
hoists are connected by a cast iron bed plate to which they are firmly bolted, making a solid 
and rigid base requiring no special foundation. 

All unnecessary finish has been done away with and we have put its cost into substantial 
workmanship and material. 

The drums fitted with our band friction clutch are loose on their shafts. The drum 
hubs are lined with removable brass bushings, the clutch and brake being of sufficient strength 
to easily hold the maximum load. Shafts, rods and pins are made of high grade steel and not, 
as is so frequently the case, of inferior material. 

All operating levers are conveniently arranged. Cylinders are neatly lagged with sheet 
iron. All parts are accessible and provided with ample means for lubrication. 

Illustrations of these hoists will be found in the following pages. 

SINGLE DRUM HOISTING ENGINES, WITH SHAFTS DESIGNED 

TO RECEIVE A SECOND DRUM. 

Single Drum Hoisting Engines may be designed so as to permit an additional drum 
to be fitted on the shaft at some future time. 

This arrangement involves but comparatively little extra expense and permits the capac¬ 
ity of the hoist to be augmented to keep pace (within certain limits) with the development 
of the mine, thus saving to the mine owners the possible expense of purchasing a second hoist 
of greater capacity. 

A hoisting engine of the character above referred to was built by us for the Elkhorn 
Mining Company. This hoist is of the double cylinder, single drum, direct acting type. Size 
of cylinders 20 in. by GO in., size of drum 9 ft. by 3 ft. 6 in. The post brake, jaw clutch and 
link motion reversing gear are steam operated. The hoist is also fitted with crank brakes, 
indicator, etc. This hoisting engine was in operation for many years as a single drum hoist, 
but lately was fitted with the second drum and the necessary operating mechanism for the 
same, in this manner more than doubling the capacity of the hoist at a small outlay. 

We build hoisting engines to be operated either by steam, compressed air, electricity, 
or water power, and also so designed that where several of the forces mentioned are avail¬ 
able for use either may be employed in turn at the will of the operator. 

A hoist of the last mentioned type was recently built by us for the Tomboy Gold Mines 
Company, Limited, and is to be driven by compressed air or electricity. 

A hoist built by us for the Darien Gold Mining Company can be driven by steam or 
by water. 

Our extended and varied experience in designing and building standard and special 
hoisting engines places us in a position to assure the customer that the power available will 
be utilized in the most economical and efficient manner. 

We value correspondence relating to these subjects and shall be pleased to give cus¬ 
tomers our best advice and judgment. 


HOISTS USING ROUND ROPE. 


SINGLE DRUM HOISTING ENGINES. 


STANDARD SINGLE DRUM PORTABLE HOISTING ENGINE. 

Our standard single drum portable hoist is shown in Plate 577. 

The hoist is built in three types as follows: 

WITH BAND FRICTION CLUTCH AND BAND BRAKE. 

This hoist has no reversing gear, and consequently has only two hand levers, as shown 
by Plate 577. The friction clutch permits of the load being lowered under brake control. 

On page 12 will be found a table of sizes in which this type of hoist is built. 

WITH BAND FRICTION CLUTCH, BAND BRAKE AND LINK MOTION REVERSING GEAR. 

This hoist is similar in all respects to the one previously described, except that it is pro¬ 
vided, in addition, with a reversing gear. With this hoist, the load may be lowered under 
steam as well as under brake control, the advantage of the former method being an increase 
of safety when lowering men. 

On page 12 will be found a table of the sizes in which this style of hoist is built. 

WITH DRUM KEYED TO SHAFT, BAND BRAKE AND LINK MOTION REVERSING GEAR. 

In this hoist the drum is keyed to the shaft, placing it under direct control of the steam. 
The construction is simpler than that of the two preceding types and the weight is less, this 
resulting in a hoist of less cost. 

On page 12 will be found a table of sizes in which this type of hoist is built. 

FOR MOUNTAIN TRANSPORTATION. 

These hoists may be made sectional (300-lb. limit) to facilitate transportation in moun¬ 
tainous regions. The weight of the heaviest piece is 350 lbs.

SINGLE DRUM GEARED HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plate 746 illustrates a compact design of geared hoisting engine intended to be used 
more especially for continuous and heavy hoisting in the regular operation of a mine but not 
as a sinking or prospecting hoist. The hoist shown has duplex plain slide valve engines, 
and a 7-foot drum grooved for round rope. The Drum is loose on the shaft and fitted with 
bronze bushings. It is driven from the shaft by means of a jaw clutch. In order to facili¬ 
tate clutching in, the disc cranks on the engine are fitted with a band brake operated by a 
foot-step on the engineer’s platform so as to render it unnecessary to handle the heavy post 
brakes every time the clutch is shifted. The main brake is of the post pattern with a large 
wearing surface on the brake wheel to reduce to a minimum the trouble from heating and 
wear of wooden brake shoes. The operations of this hoist are controlled by hand levers and 
foot-steps so arranged that the engineer can handle the hoist without moving from his 
place. Each steam cylinder has a separate rotary throttle valve close to the clinder. En¬ 
gines so fitted respond more quickly than do those where a single valve is used. 


Plate No. 74-0. 



Single Drum Geared Hoisting Engine.—For Heavy Duty.

SINGLE DRUM, DOUBLE ROPE HOIST. 


Plate 1058 illustrates a Single Drum Hoisting Engine, built for the Mohawk Mining 
Co. The cylinders are 14 in. by 18 in. and a link motion reversing gear permits hoisting with 
two ropes, one leading from the upper and the other from the lower side of the drum. The 
drum is keyed to the shaft and is 84 inches in diameter and 104 inches face. It was made of 

j 

this length to allow for winding the two ropes on it, one from each end and in opposite direc¬ 
tions. With this arrangement hoisting can be done from two shafts with the cages in balance 
and hoisting from the same level. 

The capacity of this hoist is 15000 lbs., gross load, hoisted at the rate of 1000 feet per 
minute from a depth of 1500 feet, the shaft being at an incline of 41 degrees. One end of the 
drum may be provided with a suitable take-up to adjust the length of rope in use and thus 
readily provide for changing to other levels from which material may be hoisted. 

We have built six of these engines and they continue to be very popular.

DIRECT ACTING SINGLE DRUM HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plate 747 shows a Direct Acting, Single Drum Hoisting Engine, built by ns for the 
Peholes Mine. 

This hoist is driven by Duplex 1234 in. by 24 in. Corliss Engines and is fitted with a 
standard band friction clutch, band brake and link motion reversing gear. 

All operations of the hoist are controlled by hand levers which are conveniently grouped 
on the engineer’s platform. 

The dial indicator, it will be noticed, has two hands, one hand making a complete revo¬ 
lution in the entire length of the lift, while the other one makes a complete revolution in the 
last 100 feet of the lift, thus indicating more positively the position of the skip or cage, and 
enabling the engineer to prevent overwinding. 

The capacity of the engine is 3500 pounds, hoisted at a speed of 1000 feet per minute 
from a depth of 1800 feet.

Plates 1062 and 1063 represent our Double Cylinder, Double Drum Hoisting* Engine, 
with Band Friction Clutches, Band Brakes and Link Motion Reversing Gear. This hoist is 
designed for a double compartment shaft. 

Both drums are loose on the shaft and each is provided with an independent band fric¬ 
tion clutch for driving it, permitting the hoisting to be performed balanced or unbalanced as 
may be required. Where the hoist will always run in balance, and from the same level, the 
clutches may be omitted, and the drums keyed to the shaft. 

The hoisting engine represented by the illustrations was built for the American Mining 
Company. Its cylinders are 14 in. by 18 in. and it has a capacity of 200 tons per 24 hours from 
a depth of 1600 feet. The drums are independent and the engine is reversible.

SECTIONALIZED DOUBLE-CYLINDER, DOUBLE-DRUM HOIST. 


Plate 1050 shows a Double Drum Hoisting Engine sectionalized to a 300-pound limit, 
for mule-back transportation. This hoist is driven by a duplex slide valve engine with cyl¬ 
inders 8 in. diameter by 12 in. stroke, and is fitted with drums 42 in. diameter by 36 in. face. 
The drums are driven from the shaft by means of our standard band friction clutches and each 
drum is fitted with a band brake. The engine has link motion reversing gear and column indi¬ 
cators show the position of the cage in the shaft. This hoisting engine has a capacity of 3600 
lbs. gross load hoisted at a speed of 460 ft. per minute from a depth of 600 ft. Compressed air 
is often used to operate the hoist. 

The cut shows how neatly the sectionalizing has been accomplished, as notwithstanding 
the fact that the bed plate is made in many pieces the joints are practically invisible. 

The hoist was built by us for the Darien Gold Mining Company. 

We make a specialty of machinery sectionalized so as to facilitate transportation in 
regions difficult of access.

SPECIAL DOUBLE DRUM, GEARED HOISTING ENGINES. 


Die Double Drum Geared Hoisting Engines shown below and on pages 20 and 21 were 
furnished by us to the Alaska United Gold Mining Company. They are of special design for 
heavy and rapid hoisting. The drums are driven by band friction clutches and are fitted with 
post brakes. The brakes and clutches are applied by hand wheels, while the brakes on the 
crank discs are applied by a foot lever. The link motion reversing gear is operated by a 
hand lever. 

Plate 1052 shows the 12 in. by 10 in. Hoisting Engine, and Plate 913 shows the 15 
in. by 21- in. Hoisting Engine. Plate 1051 is described in detail on page 21. 

On page 20 is given a table of sizes, capacities, etc., for these three hoisting engines. If 
the standard sizes do not meet the requirements, we will be pleased, upon application, to quote 
upon special hoisting engines. 

Since the above named hoists were delivered we have received an additional order from 
the same company for a duplicate hoisting engine. Concerning the efficiency of our hoists, 
the manager of the mine writes as follows: “These hoisting engines are the best designed 
engines for this work I am acquainted with.”

DOUBLE DRUM, GEARED HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plate 1051, shown below, represents a Double Drum, Geared Hoisting Engine, built 
for the Alaska United Gold Mining Co. The cylinders are 15 inches in diameter by 24 
inches stroke. It is similar to the hoisting engines described on page 19, differing only in 
being of larger dimensions and being operated from a raised platform instead of from the 
floor. Like the others, it has post brakes, band friction clutches, column indicators, etc., as 
well as helical-tooth gears, by means of which increased strength and smooth running quali¬ 
ties are obtained. Details of dimensions, capacities, etc., will be found in the table on page 20.

24x00 DIRECT-ACTING DOUBLE DRUM CORLISS HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plate 1267 illustrates a modern type of hoisting engine built for the Le Roi Mine of 
the British American Corporation located at Rossland, British Columbia. 

The cylinders are 24 inches in diameter by 60 inches stroke and drive two straight- 
faced drums each 10 feet in diameter by 5 feet face. 

Each drum is provided with a powerful post brake and a band friction clutch. The 
drums are loose on the shaft and are driven from it by means of friction clutches. The 
reversing gear, clutches, brake and throttle are all operated by means of auxiliary engines 
fitted with an oil cataract device for checking and locking their motion. 

The disc cranks are made extra large and fitted with band brakes operated by a foot 
lever on the engineer's platform. 

An automatic safety stop driven by the same mechanism that operates the indicators 
actuates the cut-off so that in case of overwinding no steam can enter the steam cylinders 
while at the same time the brake engines are operated to bring the hoist to a stop. 

This hoisting engine is capable of raising an unbalanced load of 14,250 lbs. from a

depth of 2,000 feet with the angle of the shaft 67 degrees from the horizontal. This engine 
has been in operation for 4 years, during all of which time it has given perfect satisfaction. 

It is interesting to note that steam for this plant is carried about 1400 feet from the 
boilers and as a result contains a large percentage of moisture. 

We have built a hoisting engine of the same general design for the Consolidated Bo¬ 
nanza Gold Alines Co. with steam cvlinders 20 inches in diameter and a 48-inch stroke, 
driving two drums each 6 feet in diameter with 7-foot faces. 

DIRECT ACTING, DOUBLE DRUM HOISTING ENGINE. 

Plate 1085 shows one of our Direct Acting Double Drum Hoisting Engines built for 
the Virtue Consolidated Alines. The cylinders are 16 in. by 36 in., Corliss type. The drums 
are 60 in. diameter and 48 in. face. The operating levers are grouped together between the 
cylinders on the platform on the floor level. The friction clutches, link reversing gear, throt¬ 
tle and release valves are all operated by hand, while the post brakes are operated by auxil¬ 
iary steam cylinders, fitted with an oil check, 

This engine is designed to hoist a total load of 6000 pounds at a speed of 1250 feet 
per minute, from a depth of 1500 feet.

COXICAL DRUM HOISTING ENGINES. 


DOUBLE CONE DRUM ENGINE. 

The Double Cone Drum With Two Ropes Is a Development of the Single Cylindrical Drum. 

The theory of this construction is that as the weight of the rope increases, the radius 
at which it acts correspondingly decreases, thus equalizing the work of the engine. The 
dimensions of the drum must be calculated to suit each particular case, and if used under 
different circumstances, the drum would fail to fulfill the purpose of its design. For very 
deep hoisting, in order to balance the great weight of rope, the central portion of the drum 
would become inconveniently large in diameter, therefore this portion is made cylindrical 
and is used by both ropes. This arrangement also shortens the drum, but of course makes 
it impossible to perfectly balance the weight of the rope. 

Plate 940 shows the first of two Conical Drum Hoisting Engines built by us for 
the Atlantic Mining Company. The drum measures 10 ft. in its smaller diameter and 
15 ft. 6 in. in its larger diameter. It is fixed on the shaft and provided with take-ups for 
adjusting the lengths of the ropes. The brakes are steam operated and of the band type. The 
cylinders are of Corliss type, 26 in. by 48 in., being' designed to form the low pressure cyl-

inders of a duplex tandem compound engine, the high pressure cylinders of which will be 
added later. A cut-off governor adapted to hoisting engine work controls the speed. 

The capacity of this hoisting engine running in balance, is 7000 pounds of ore hoisted 
at an average speed of 2400 ft. per minute, up an incline of 55 degrees from the horizon¬ 
tal, 2000 feet in length. 


DOUBLE CONICAL DRUM. 

Plate 100(3 shows the drum for the second Conical Drum Hoisting Engine built by us

This Hoisting Engine is similar to the first one built for the same Company (see page 
24), except that it is larger in every respect. The drum measures 12 ft. in its smaller diam¬ 
eter and 25 ft. (3 in. at the center by 25 ft. 5 in. face. The cylinders are 24 in. by 60 in. and 
the capacity is 7000 pounds of ore hoisted at an average speed of 3400 ft. per minute, up an 
incline of 55 degrees from the horizontal, 4000 feet in length.

ADVENTURE CONSOLIDATED COPPER CO., AND BALTIC 

MINING CO. HOISTS. 


In addition to the hoists shown in this catalogue, we have installed two double cone drum 
hoisting engines for the Adventure Consolidated Copper Co., and one for the Baltic Mining 
Co. The hoists for the Adventure Consolidated Copper Co. are of the double cone drum duplex 
Corliss Direct Acting Hoisting engine type, steam cylinders 24 in. diameter by 60 in. stroke, 
driving a double cone drum 10 ft. in diameter at the smaller end and 13 ft. 8 in. in diameter 
at the larger end, grooved for 1*4 in- rope, each half of the drum to carry 2000 feet of rope. 
The drum is fitted with a single post brake 15 ft. 4 y 2 in. diameter by 12 in. face. This brake 
will be of the parallel motion type operated by means of an auxiliary steam cylinder fitted with 
an oil check. The reversing motion will be of the Allen Straight Link type operated by means 
of an auxiliary steam engine. The engine frames are constructed so as to have a bearing 
along the entire length of the frame, thus making an extremely rigid construction. Each end 
of the drum is fitted with a rope take-up so that the length of rope in use can be varied. This 
take-up is entirely independent of the drum and is easily accessible. The throttle valves used 
on these hoisting engines are of a special balanced design, the valve being so perfectly bal¬ 
anced that it can be operated with ease by means of a hand lever, and at the same time is 
absolutely tight. Each of these hoisting engines has a capacity for a total load of 24900 lbs. 
hoisted at a speed of 2000 ft. per minute up a shaft having an inclination of 45 degrees from 
the horizontal. 

The hoist for the Baltic Mining Co. is practically a duplicate of the above described 
engine, with the exception that the drum is 10 ft. diameter at the smaller end and 15 ft. diam¬ 
eter at its center. This hoisting engine has a capacity of a maximum gross load of 19000 
pounds, hoisted at a speed of 2000 feet per minute up a shaft inclined at an angle of 73 
degrees from the horizontal. 


HOISTING FOR DEEP MINES. 

THE WHITING SYSTEM. 

When mining is to be done from very great depths, the problem of hoisting ore be¬ 
comes much more difficult than that met with in ordinary mines. A flat rope, under such 
circumstances, is not very successful, owing to the great cost of repairs on such a rope. 
A round rope, as a rule, requires very large drums, since with deep hoisting it is not a good 
plan to coil the rope in more than one layer on the drum. To overcome these objections, 
Mr. S. B. Whiting many years ago introduced a system of hoisting by means of drums simi¬ 
lar to those used for cable railways. According to this system the rope passes several times 
around two drums which, as a rule, are both driving drums. One end of the rope is made 
fast directly to the hoisting cage or skip, while the other end first passes around an idler sheave 
located on a carriage, and thence to the other shaft compartment. By means of the carriage 
the positions of the two skips or cages can be altered so as to suit the different levels in the 
shaft. 

Considerable difficulty has been experienced with this system due to an unequal wear 
of the different grooves in the drums with the grooves filled with wood. We have of late 


26 


years entirely overcome this unequal wear by using Walker’s patent differential rings on the 
drums instead of the common wood filling. These patent rings retain their correct diameters 
for long periods and have given most satisfactory results. 

The Whiting system offers a very great advantage over any other system in that the 
exact maximum depth of the mine need not be known at the time when the hoisting engine 
is built, since, within the limits of strength, more rope can be added to suit requirements. In 
the case of a drum, or flat rope reel, this cannot be done because the size of the drum or reel 
absolutely determines the quantity of rope that can be used. In the Whiting, however, the 
reel does not hold the rope, but simply takes a few wraps of it and is independent of its 
length. 

One difficulty still remained to be overcome. That was the variable dead weight of 
rope when hoisting from different levels. When the cage is at the bottom not only must its 
own dead weight and that of the ore be hoisted, but in addition to this the full weight of 
the rope, which diminishes as the cage nears the surface. On the other hand, the rope on 
the descending side becomes heavier as the cage goes down, and the result is that it takes a 
very great effort for the hoist to start the cage or skip from the bottom, while as the ascend¬ 
ing cage nears the top, the descending cage and rope may even more than balance the total 
weight of the former, so that the engine of the hoist has no work to do during that period. 
The result is of course very poor economy, and it renders it almost impossible to use com¬ 
pound engines, which system is now in such general use for ordinary mill engines. 

In order to overcome this difficulty, a “tail rope” has been introduced, this being a rope 
of the same size and weight per foot as the main hoisting rope. The two ends of this rope 
are fastened respectively to the bottoms of the two skips, and at the bottom of the shaft the 
rope passes around a sheave placed in guides or on a carriage, according to circumstances. 
This tail rope absolutely counterbalances the hoisting rope, while one skip exactly balances 
the other skip. The load on the engine, therefore, at all times is only the amount of ore that 


Plate No. 1096. 



Whiting System Hoisting Engine.—Plan View. 































































































































































































































is being hoisted, irrespective of either the weight of the rope per foot, the weight of the skip 
or the depth of the mine. 

This is of much greater advantage than would at first sight appear. It allows the use 
of the smallest possible engine. The engine can be proportioned for the highest economy, 
since the work is constant. A further advantage, which in many cases is the greatest, lies 
in the fact that the engine in a great measure becomes universal. That is to say, that iden¬ 
tical engines can be used for any depth of mine up to the limit of the strength of the engine 
and rope. It often happens that one mining company operates a number of separate mines, 
or, at least, separate shafts, and the great advantage of having a hoist which can be used 
equally well at any of these mines, is apparent. It was these considerations which led to the 
adoption of this system for the Rand Mines, Johannesburg, South Africa, after they had tried 
almost every conceivable system of hoisting that had been devised. At these mines the 
Whiting system is used, not only for hoisting rock from completed shafts, but deep shafts 
have been successfully sunk with such engines, during which period, of course, the tail rope 
could not be used to advantage. In some cases, however, it may be preferable to employ 
straight drums of small diameter for sinking purposes, these drums temporarily taking the 
place of the Walker drums. 

1 • 

In the Whiting hoists both winding drums are positively driven by the engine. The 
first drum is driven directly by the main connecting rods, while the second drum is driven 
by means of a pair of parallel rods similar to those used on locomotives. Owing to the 
slightly inclined position of the second drum shaft, these parallel rods, however, have to be 
made with a simple compensating device to avoid binding. In this manner both drums become 
driving drums and the greatest possible amount of driving friction on the rope is obtained. 
Only one of the driving drums needs to be provided with a brake wheel, since the brake 
power is transmitted through a shaft and through the parallel rods to the other drum just as 
effectively as if a separate brake had been provided for it. 

It is evident that the engine part of such a hoist can be varied to suit conditions and 
circumstances. In most cases we would advise the use of a cross compound Corliss engine 


Plate No. 1095. 



Whiting System Hoisting Engine Elevation. 


28 





































































































with one high pressure and one low pressure cylinder. Our illustration shows a double tan¬ 
dem compound Corliss engine, which, at the expense of simplicity, offers the advantage of 
an absolutely uniform starting moment on the two cranks under any condition of load. Where 
economy of first cost is of more importance than economy of running, a plain pair of high 
pressure cylinders may be used instead of compound cylinders. It is also quite possible to 
arrange this engine as a four-cylinder triple expansion, though in most cases we think it will 
be found that the compound type answers all requirements for economy. 

The adjustment for different levels is effected by means of the take-up gear, consisting 
of (a), a sheave placed on a carriage, and (b), of winding machinery for shifting this carriage 
along its track. The track for this carriage is very wide, and the sheave is placed preferably 
in a horizontal position. While hoisting, this carriage is clamped to the track, and is in addi¬ 
tion held by means of the rope by which it is adjusted. This rope may run over a tail sheave 
at the end of the track from which it is led to the winding engine, which may then be located 
in the engine room with the main hoist. This winding engine consists of a drum driven by a 
very powerfully geared engine, because the strain on this rope is considerable. The length of 


Plate No. 1094. 



Compound Direct Acting Corliss Hoisting Engine. 


29 












































































































































































































































track required for this take-up gear is just one-half of the length of the adjustment required 
in the mine, so that if it is desired to vary the position of the cage in the shaft 1000 feet, it 
will be necessary to have a track 500 feet in length. 

On page 29 is shown a modification of this system which, under some conditions, 
may be preferred to the Whiting hoist. This hoisting engine has one large drum keyed to 
the crank shaft. One rope is fastened to one end of this drum, and the other rope to the 
other end in such wise that one rope will always wind on while the other winds off. 

One of these ropes is taken directly to the head gear while the other is first laid over 
a take-up gear similar to that used for the Whiting system. From this it will be seen that ex¬ 
actly the same advantages are to be gained by this system as by the Whiting, with the single 
exception that this drum hoist cannot be used for a greater depth than that for which its 
drum is built. Offsetting this disadvantage is found the advantage of having both ropes pos¬ 
itively fastened to the drum so that in case an accident should happen to one rope, only the 
skip on this rope is dropped, and not both, as would be the case with the Whiting hoist. In 
other respects the description of the Whiting system applies, and so far as economy is con¬ 
cerned, one system stands just as high as the other. With either system we always furnish 
an automatic governor which controls the cut-off and insures a uniform speed. This gover¬ 
nor is so arranged that it will automatically throw the cut-off gear out of action while the 
hoist is being slowed down, so that in all cases the engine may be left in the best possible con¬ 
dition for starting up again after it is stopped. 

FLEETING ENGINE. 

Plate 1268 illustrates a double geared single drum hoisting engine, used in connec¬ 
tion with the Whiting hoists illustrated on pages 27 to 29. These engines are called Fleeting 


Plate No. 1268.

Engines because their duty is to fleet or traverse the movable tail-rope sheave which is used 
for adjusting the length of the rope; or, in other words, adjusting the depth from which the 
main engine is to hoist. This is something that is only done occasionally, and it is therefore 
necessary to have a machine which can be operated at a slow rate of speed a few times a day, 
but the machine must be extremely heavy and substantial, as it has to lift the same load as 
the main engine. Speed being no object, however, it is possible to use a small geared engine. 
1 he cylinders of this engine are 10 in. diameter by 12 in. stroke, which drive by means of 
gearing a drum 6 ft. diameter by GjT ft. face, grooved for l l / 2 in. rope, the gear ratio being 
7 5 to 1. The drum is provided with an extremely powerful band brake operated by means 
of a hand wheel. The crank discs are also fitted with band brakes. 


WALKER'S PATENT DIFFERENTIAL ROPE DRUMS. 

Plate 1270 shows a “Walker’’ Patent Differential Rope Drum such as we use on 
hoists of the “Whiting” type. 

It has been found that when a driving rope makes a number of wraps around grooved 
solid drums each groove will wear down at a different rate from the others. This necessi¬ 
tates a periodical turning out of the grooves and the ultimate replacing of the entire drum. 
Furthermore while the drum is running with its grooves of varying diameters tremendous 
strains are set up in the rope and great wear on the rope results in consecpience of the slip, 
due to the differences in the circumference of the wheel at each groove. To eliminate these 
objections the “Walker” Differential Drum was devised. Each groove of this drum is turned 
in an independent ring (usually of forged iron) which ring is free to rotate on the drum center, 
thus equalizing the tension on the different wraps of the drum. At the same time with a proper 
number of rings, the friction of one against the other, and of all upon the cast iron center is 
sufficient to transmit the entire power the rope will carry. To prevent cutting, provision is 
made for a slight lubrication of the bottom and sides of the rings. A covering plate is pro¬ 
vided for holding the rings in place, which plate is not shown in the annexed cut. 

For high peripheral speeds such as are common with “Whiting” hoists, and under the 
conditions necessitating the making of the ring in halves, the rings are frequently constructed 
to interlock. This being an extra precaution against the accidental shearing of the joint 
rivets by centrifugal stresses. 

Experience has fully demonstrated that differential rings are absolutely essential on a 
hoist of the “Whiting” type, and we, therefore, use these rings on all “Whiting” hoisting en¬ 
gines built by us. We have also furnished them to other companies building or operating this 
type of machine. Among important installations using these differential rings are the mam¬ 
moth hoisting engines at the Red Jacket Shaft of the Calumet & Hecla Mines which are pro¬ 
vided with four drums 19 in. diameter and two 7 ft. diameter, all fitted with “Walker's” 

Differential rings; and the five large double tandem “Whiting” hoisting engines built by us for 
the Rand Mines of South Africa described on pages 42 to 44 of this catalogue.

SPECIAL DIRECT-ACTING DOUBLE DRUM HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plates 12G<) and 1267' show an engine which was so designed that its character could 
be changed almost entirely after the first work for which it was built—that of sinking the 
shafts—was finished. 

In its original form it was a simple engine with cylinders each 17 in. in diameter by 
60 in. stroke—driving two drums each 8 ft. in diameter by 2 ft. S in. face. The drums were 
especially designed to permit of overwinding four coils of rope so as to hold 5,000 feet of 
1>8 in. rope. Each was fitted with a powerful post brake and Seymour jaw clutch. In this 
form it was used while the shafts were being sunk. When this work was finished the en¬ 
gines were converted into duplex tandem compound engines by the addition of 28-inch low 
pressure cylinders. 


Plate No. 1266.

Original form while sinking shafts.—As seen from drum end.

At the same time the straight-faced drums were taken out and replaced by Whiting 
drums, converting the entire machine into a hoisting engine of the type shown in plates 
1005 and 1096 on pages 27 and 28. The peculiar arrangement of the valve gear shown was 
adopted in order to cut down the length between the bearings on the crank shaft. This was 
done in order to make the shaft better able to resist the numerous blocking strains which it 
has to resist as a Whiting hoist. 

The reverse motion is actuated by an auxiliary steam cylinder having an oil cataract 
cylinder. 

Orders were received for five more hoists of this type while this catalogue was in 
preparation and these were in course of construction at the time of going to press. These 
five hoisting engines are similar in all respects to the one described except that they were to 
be built tandem-compound engines at the beginning.

REEL HOISTING ENGINES. 


HOISTS USING FLAT ROPE. 


GEARED AND DIRECT ACTING ENGINES. 

The Reel Hoist is often used where it is not the intention to hoist always in balance 
and where no tail rope or compensating device, such as a conical drum, can he used. 

The greatest weight to be lifted by any hoist is when the loaded cage is at the bottom 
of the shaft and consequently all the rope is off the drum or reel, but at this point the reel hoist 
has an advantage, since the reel begins to wind on its smallest diameter. As the rope winds 
on the reel the total load decreases while the leverage of the rope on the reel increases, thus 
keeping the load on the engine nearly uniform when lifting one cage unbalanced. Another 
advantage of the reel hoist is that the rope always leads straight to the head sheave instead 
of at a considerable angle as occurs when winding on a drum. 

This enables the hoist to be put very close to the shaft, which is a great advantage 
where the contour of the ground is such that expensive grading is necessary in order to pre¬ 
pare a site for the hoist. In cold climates it is an advantage as the hoisting engine and gal¬ 
lows frame can he placed under the same roof. 

Reel hoists are found in use mostly in the western part of America, where they are 
in great favor. As a rule, hoisting is done there from many different levels. One car is often 
being- hoisted from one level while the car on the other deck may come from another level. 
Under such circumstances, it is of course out of the question to hoist in balance, and the flat 
rope reel hoisting engine becomes very convenient. 

Allis-Chalmers Co. have built a great variety of reel hoisting engines, both direct act¬ 
ing- and g-eared, driven by Corliss, Piston and Slide Valve Engines, and for large as well as 
for small loads. 

On the following pages are given illustrations and descriptions of these various types. 


GEARED, DOUBLE REEL HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plates 1056 and 1057 illustrate a Double Reel, Single Geared Hoisting Engine built 
for the Diamond Mine. The cylinders of the engine are duplex, 10 in. diameter by 10 in. 
stroke, with slide valves and link motion reversing gear. 

The outside arm of the reel and the brake ring are cast in one piece, thus mutually

strengthening these parts and producing a compact and efficient hoisting engine. 

The brakes are of the post style and are applied by means of hand wheels with rack 
and pinion. The hoist is also equipped with crank brakes operated by pedals. Jaw clutches 
drive the reels, and each reel has a dial indicator positively driven from the reel hub by means 
of a screw and worm, for showing the position of the cages. 

The reels are 30 in. diameter at center and are each suitable for holding 800 feet of 
3 in. by in. flat rope.

DOUBLE REEL. DOUBLE GEARED HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plate 1004 illustrates a Double Reel, Double Geared Hoisting Engine built for the 
Noriega Brothers. 

This hoist is very similar to the one just described, being driven by Duplex Slide Valve 
Engines, with cylinders 14 in. by 24 in., and operated in practically the same manner. It 
differs, however, in that it is provided with two pairs of driving gears instead of one, and also 
has a center bearing. 

Each reel is 42 in. in diameter at the center and will bold 1300 feet of 3 in. by Y in. 
flat rope. 

This hoist will raise a total load of GS00 lbs. from a depth of 1300 ft. at a speed of 
about 500 ft. per minute.

DIRECT ACTING DOUBLE REEL HOISTING ENGINE. 


The photograph of the hoist shown by Plate 1065 was taken when the hoist was erected 
at the mine, and shows the reel wound nearly full. 

This engine was built for the Bi-Metallic Mine and is equipped with unusually strong 
post brakes and crank brakes, as can be plainly seen from the illustration. The hoist is 
operated from a raised platform and spiral indicators show the position of the cages. The 
engine is direct acting and is driven by Duplex 22 in. by 60 in. Piston Valve Cylinders, 
Brakes, clutches, and reversing links are steam operated. The reels are 6 ft. in diameter 
at their centers and will each hold 3000 feet of 6 in. by p 2 in. flat rope. Overwinding is 
prevented by an automatic safety stop. 

This hoisting engine will raise a total load of 22000 lbs. from a depth of 3000 ft. at 
a speed of 2000 ft. per minute.

The clutches are of the jaw type mounted on an octagonal shaft. The use of feathers 
on the shaft for this style of clutch, although quite common, is not to be preferred as the 
strain and concussion when “clutching in” is very severe. 

The cut also shows the worm gear indicator drive. It will be obvious that this drive 
is direct and positive and fully complies with the law enacted in some states regarding such 
devices.

Engine built for the Centennial-Eureka Mining Company. 

The cylinders are 20 inches in diameter by 60 inches stroke and have link motion revers¬ 
ing gear of the Stephenson type. The reels are 5 feet in diameter at the center and each 
is capable of winding 2500 feet of 5 in. by in. flat rope. They are driven by friction 
clutches, and an automatic safety stop prevents overwinding. 

The clutches, brakes and reversing gear are steam operated ; the levers for this, to¬ 
gether with those operating the crank brakes and throttle valve, being on the engineer’s 
platform.

DIRECT ACTING, DOUBLE REEL CORLISS HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plate 745 illustrates an Allis-Chalmers Duplex Corliss Engine, with cylinders 20 in. 
diameter, stroke 60 in. direct connected to a pair of reels 5 feet in diameter at their cen¬ 
ters for winding 2000 feet of 4 in. by p> in. rope. The reels are fitted with steam operated 
clutches and post brakes, and the engines have a steam reverse gear. All auxiliary steam cyl¬ 
inders have oil cataract cylinders arranged tandem with the steam cylinders to give an easy 
and steady motion. A large and heavy pillow block is provided for the center bearing of the 
crank shaft. This pillow block is of the same design and has the same provision made for 
taking up the wear that the engine pillow blocks have. 

The engraving was made from a photograph taken of a hoisting engine built by us 
for The Helena-Frisco Mining Company, Idaho. 

Since this engine has been in operation we have received orders for duplicates from 
the Standard Mining Co. and the Consolidated Tiger & Poorman Mining Company. All of 
these companies are in the same district, and the later orders were due to the eminently sat¬ 
isfactory operation of The Helena-Frisco Co.’s hoisting engine. 

We have recently installed two hoisting engines of practically the same design as this 
hoist but with 20 in. diameter by 48 in. stroke steam cylinders. 

One of these hoists is at the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Co., the other at the 
Redboy Consolidated Gold Mines.

Direct Acting, Double Reel, Corliss Hoisting Engine. 




DUPLEX, TANDEM. COMPOUND CORLISS HOISTING ENGINE. 


Plates 804 and 1055 illustrate an arrangement of Duplex Tandem Compound Corliss 
Engines directly connected to a reel shaft. The cylinders of the engine are 16 inches diam¬ 
eter for the high pressure and 24 inches for the low pressure, and the stroke is 42 inches. 
Arrangement is made whereby high pressure steam can be by-passed into the low pressure 
cylinders when starting the load. The high pressure cylinders are fitted with Corliss auto¬ 
matic cut-off valve gear under control of a governor and the low pressure cylinders are fitted 
with Corliss valves having fixed cut-off. Each cylinder has a separate throttle valve, all of 
which are simultaneously operated by a steam cylinder controlled from the engineer's plat¬ 
form. 

The reels are 4 ft. in diameter at their centers and are suitable for holding 2700 feet 
of 5 in. by $4 in. flat rope each. They are fitted with band friction clutches and post brakes, 
operated by steam cylinders. The reversing gear, which is of the Stephenson type, is also 
operated by a steam cylinder. 

Particular attention is called to the indicators. These, by means of a compensating 
arrangement, are so constructed as to move the hands at a speed proportionate with that 
of the rope. This very materially lessens the liability to overwind. 

Hoisting engines of this type are particularly recommended for use in localities 


Plate No. S04

where fuel is expensive and the duty is continuous. Experienced mining men who have 
made the subject of hoisting a study, are also adopting them for use at mines where 
fuel costs only from $2.00 to $2.50 per ton. 

This engine is able to handle the load unbalanced, starting from any level and with 
the cranks in any position, while the automatic cut-off of the steam by the governor enables 
the engine to work economically when hoisting in balance. 

By referring to Plate 804, it will be seen that the operating- levers are very con¬ 
veniently located on the engineer's platform on the floor level, enabling the engineer to 
control all operations without moving from his position. 

The economical advantages of compound hoisting engines are best obtained where there 
is continuity of operation. 

Plate 1055 is a view of the crank end of the Duplex, Tandem Compound Corliss 
Hoisting Engine and shows more clearly the compensating device attached to the indica¬ 
tors and also the details of the reels, band friction clutches, post brakes, etc. 

The engravings were made from photographs taken in our shops of a hoisting 
engine built for the Grand Central Mining Co., Mexico. A duplicate of this engine 
was also built by us for the Chihuahua Mining Co., Mexico. We especially recommend the 
Duplex, Tandem Compound Engine in preference to the cross-compound type, when the load 
is variable, as it starts more easily.

in. by in. flat rope. They are fitted with band friction clutches and post brakes of our 
standard designs. An automatic safety stop is connected to the reels to prevent over¬ 
winding'. The hoist is operated by steam throughout, the auxiliary steam cylinders being 
in turn operated by hand levers on the engineer's platform. 

, The engraving was made from a photograph taken of a hoisting engine built by us 
for the Negociacion de Santa Ana, Mexico. 

The prestige gained by many years of experience in building mining machinery to¬ 
gether with our unequalled manufacturing facilities is reflected in the character of our pro¬ 
ductions. The firm name of Allis-Chalmers Co. is closely identified with all the more impor¬ 
tant advances that have been made in perfecting mining machinery and all the auxiliary 
appliances for treating ores.

quired. It is substantially built and well arranged. A continuous bed-plate carries the engine 
and boiler. The drum is fitted with a band friction clutch operated by a hand lever, and a 
band brake operated by a foot-lever. The bands are lined with wooden blocks, provision be¬ 
ing made for taking up wear. Throttle, clutch and brake levers are all within easy reach of 
the operator. 

A heavy fly wheel is placed on the outer end of the crank shaft and may be used to 
drive other machines. The boiler shell is made of flange steel throughout and the boiler is 
fed by a single acting pump, driven by an eccentric on the engine shaft. The hoist operates 
economically and requires no special foundation.

CAGES. 


SAFETY HOISTING CAGE. 

Our cages are very carefully and strongly constructed throughout of the best Swedish 
iron and steel. They are fitted with safety catches worked by either coil or carriage springs, 
as desired, preventing the possibility of the cage falling should the rope break. These catches 
are held away from the guides while the weight of the cage hangs on the rope, but are 
released and spring against the guides immediately when the strain is taken from the rope. 
The uprights each have a slot through which to tighten the bolts or screws in the guide 
timbers. 

The platform is planked over and has a track built in, so that cars may be easily run 
off or on. A sheet steel hood or shield is attached to the top to prevent the men from being 
injured by anything falling down the shaft, the hood being hinged to open from the center to 
permit carrying long - mine timbers on end. 

When ordering give exact size of the shaft in the clear, and the gauge of the car track 
if already laid, and also the size of the guides.

Cages can be made of any desired size and to suit any angle. 

In ordering, or when requesting quotations, correspondents should give the exact size 
of the shaft in the clear and the correct angle of the shaft from the horizontal, and also the 
gauge of the car track. 



PU.te No. 1093. 



HOISTING CAGE. 

WITH EXTENSION FOR USE IN SINKING SHAFT. 

I 

When sinking- a vertical shaft, the timbers 
cannot be carried clear down to the bottom, 
hence it is usual to have a bucket which can 
be lowered to a convenient point for loading - . 

The cut on this page shows a method of 
extending the guides of the cage so that the 
cage may be lowered below the guide timbers 
far enough to be readily loaded. This exten¬ 
sion is so constructed that it will run up be¬ 
yond the sheave, as the rope is attached to the 
cage proper. This arrangement does not neces¬ 
sitate a special elevation of the sheave. The 
extension is heavy and its weight must n be 
overlooked when providing a hoisting engine 
and in choosing the size for rope. 

When the sinking is completed, the exten¬ 
sion can be removed, leaving- an ordinary cage.

Gray’s Patent Cage Chairs. 


54 



























































































































































GRAY'S CAGE CHAIRS. 


Gray's Patent Cage Chairs are an improvement upon the ordinary system of having 
separate sets of chairs for each shaft level, in that their employment substitutes a single set 
of chairs carried by the cage in place of a considerable number of chairs, one for each level. 
This effects a large saving, especially in deep shafts. The Gray Chairs are also conveniently 
operated either from the cage or from any level of the mine, and have proved in practice to 
be thoroughly reliable and to satisfy all the requirements of mine shaft chairs. 

In Plate S14, the chairs are shown applied to the cage of a vertical shaft. 

In Plate 572 they are shown applied to the cage of an inclined shaft. 

The method of operation apears clearly from the illustrations. 

A lever mounted upon the floor framing of the cage when thrown inward or outward 
causes bars forming an extension chair to slide in or out. 

When out, these bars rest in notches or upon wall plates in the shaft. The sliding bars 
are properly framed together and are cross connected by diagonal bars pivoted under the cag'e, 
and having slots connecting with pins in the slides. When the lever is out of operation, 
springs between the diagonal bars and the cage frame close the diagonals with a retractile 
action so as to draw the chair slides inwards from, and clear of the wall plates. 

This description applying to the particular design shown does not limit the breadth of 
claims of the patent. In the case of vertical shafts with levels opening on opposite sides, 
the Gray Chairs are constructed with two levers, either of which will operate them, so that 
they may be handled from either side of any level. The minor features of the essential de¬ 
signs are thus adaptable to the mine shaft upon which it is to be used, and we recommend 
the equipment of cages in use, as well as new shafts, with these chairs as a useful measure 
of economy and for greater safety. Gray’s Patent Chairs are used in the shafts of Hope 
Mine, Leiter Aline and other mining properties, and have received the endorsement of many 
practical mining men. 

The price depends on the size of shaft and will he quoted promptly on application, giv¬ 
ing necessary dimensions.

LANDING DOGS. 


Landing Logs, or Chairs, unless they are built as part of the cage itself, are pro¬ 
vided at the tops of shafts and at every level at which a cage is required to stop. 

The cut above shows landing dogs of the usual form. The hand lever can be reached 
and operated from the cage platform if necessary. 

These dogs are built to suit any size of shaft. Our design is simple, convenient and 
exceedingly strong. 













































INDICATORS. 


COLUMN INDICATOR. 


Plate 1080 shows our Column Indicator which is also well adapted to parallel drum 
hoists. The location of the cage is indicated by a pointer moved in accord with the move¬ 
ment of the cage. This indicator may also be driven by a link belt or by gearing from the 
drum.

speed proportionate with that of the rope. The speed varies as the rope winds or unwinds on 
the reel.

SKIPS. 

SELF-DUMPING SKIP FOR VERTICAL SHAFT. 


The much greater tonnage raised from an inclined shaft by the use of self-dumping 
skips as compared with ordinary hand loaded and hand unloaded cages, led us to offer the 
above design for use in vertical shafts. It combines the advantages of automatic dumping pos¬ 
sessed by skips as used on inclined shafts, with the safety of the cages for vertical shafts. 

This type of skip is being used in the Chapin Iron Mine, the De Beers Diamond 
Mines, the Alaska Mines and others. 


These skips can be made of any capacity and.to suit any size of shaft. They may also 
be provided with hoods in case no other means for carrying men is provided, or they may 
be suspended under a single deck cage. In the latter case the cage deck would be used for men 
and timbers and the skip for ore only. 


In inquiring for prices give the capacity of the skip and size of shaft. When using 
these skips a special dumping arrangement is necessary in the gallows frame.

ing with rear wheels of a wider face than the front wheels, which latter pass through an 
opening at the point arranged for dumping. 

Water skips are provided with an automatically opening valve.

Steel Skeleton Timber Skip. 

TIMBER SKIP. 

In many mines which work through an inclined shaft or slope the problem of hand¬ 
ling timber, ladders, small pumps, rock drills, coal cutters and other tools or materials 
is often an important factor and the time necessarily consumed in loading and unloading 
these articles seriously decreases the possible output of the shaft or necessitates the employ¬ 
ment of an extra shift of men with its attendant expense, for the sending down of timber. 
An effective skip for this work is shown in plate No. 2056, The extremely light, yet strong 
construction of this skip combined with a maximum carrying capacity for the size of the 
shaft will at once appeal to the practical miner. 

This skip is intended to be suspended directly below the regular ore skip by means 
of wire ropes attached to the ore skip by safety hooks. 

We build these skips for any sized shaft and to operate over any incline or slope.

ORE BUCKETS. 


Figure 1 shows a tapered side, self-dumping, ore bucket with safety link. This bucket 
is preferred by some, but owing to its projecting rim and bail, it is not as safe as the bucket 
shown by Figure 2. 

Figure 2 shows a Cornish Kibble arranged to be dumped by hooking to an eye on the 
bottom of the bucket. The shells of these buckets are T 4 inch thick and the bottoms of 
inch thick steel.

SHEAVE WHEELS. 


Plate 1088 represents our Standard Sheave Wheel with shaft and boxes complete, de¬ 
signed for mining and all other purposes where it is desired to lead wire rope over a sheave 
with the minimum of friction and wear. The sheave itself is a substantial casting with deep 
flanges turned out true and smooth to receive the rope. 

The shaft is of the best grade of mild steel, and of ample strength for all ordinary 
hoisting purposes. The boxes are lined with the best quality of anti-friction metal, and

The sheaves are fastened to the shaft either by a key or set screw. Special designs 
of sheaves, with wood, hemp or rubber lined grooves, are made to order and provided with 
various styles of boxes or pedestals. To meet exceptionally trying conditions, we build 
sheaves with wrought iron arms, as shown below. Our standard sheaves are of ample 
strength to carry the load for which the equivalent size of rope given in the table on the 
next page is suitable. 


Plate No 1269. 



SPECIAL HEAVY SHEAVES. 

The above cut illustrates our design of large sheaves for heavy duty, which are gen¬ 
erally made with wrought iron spokes cast in. These large sheaves are made in halves with 
the rim joints bolted together, and the hubs either bolted or held together by means of a 
wrought iron ring shrunk on. 

We are prepared to build sheaves of any size, and will make quotations on receipt of

HOISTING HOOKS. 

SNAP HOOK—This is a hook of the simplest form, with a steel snap spring which 
effectually prevents the bucket bail from escaping. 

SERPENTINE HOOK—This hook is sometimes used when frequent removing of 
the bucket is required, necessitating a ring or two on the bucket bail for convenience. It 
gives comparative safety by its form. 

CHAIN HOOK— A hook of simple construction for use with buckets for small hoists. 
This hook and chain serves every purpose of strength and safety as well as convenience, and 
we recommend it for light loads. 

SAFETY DETACHING HOOKS—These hooks are designed to prevent accidents 
which might be caused by the overwinding of the hoisting rope. When safety hooks are 
not provided it is possible that through the carelessness of an engineer or because of some 
derangement of the engine that a cage might be drawn up to the head sheave by the over¬ 
winding of the rope and the rope or head sheave or both be broken by the strain. The Allis- 
Chalmers Company supplies safety detaching hooks of the best designs which make such 
accidents impossible. Their action frees the hoisting rope instantly whenever the cage 
happens to be carried beyond its proper position and into contact with a safety stop. 

EFFECTIVE WEIGHT OF A LOAD. 

The table on the following page will be found useful where hoisting is done on in¬ 
clined shafts. It may also be applied to “gravity tramways” or “inclined planes.” 

The following examples will show its uses: 

Suppose the weight of ore is 10,000 lbs.; skip. 0,000 lbs.; rope, 1,500 lbs., and that the 
shaft has an inclination of 55 degrees from the horizontal. What is the strain of the rope? 
Total load, 10,000 + 6,000 + 7,500 = 23,500. 

Rule : For each pound of weight, the effective load on the rope for the angle of in¬ 
cline from the horizontal given in column I will be found opposite in column II. 1 here- 
fore, find 55 degrees in column I and opposite in column II is .819, which, multiplied 
by 23,500 = 19,246.5 lbs., the total effective strain on rope. 

Suppose an engine can raise 5,000 lbs. in a vertical shaft, what can it pull up an incline 
30 degrees from the horizontal ? 

Rule : For each pound which an engine can lift vertically, it can raise the amount 
given in column III up an incline of the angle given in column I. Therefore, find 30 degrees 















in column I, and opposite in column III is 2, which multiplied by 5,000 = 10,000 lbs., the 
amount engine can pull up a 30 degree incline. 

If the proper working strain of the rope were 5,000 lbs. on a vertical lift, it would be 
10,000 lbs. on a 30 degree incline; the process is the same. 

Note:— In using the table, it must not be overlooked that the friction of drawing the 
car, skip or cage on the rails or guides is to be added to the effective weight in order to 
obtain the total amount of strain borne by the rope. This friction is termed “traction” 
or “tractile effort” and varies between thirty and one hundred pounds per ton, according 
to circumstances, and is of more importance on inclines of small angle.

PROPER WORKING LOAD FOR STEEL WIRE ROPE. 


Certain empirical rules have been in vogue for the determination of the proper work¬ 
ing load for wire rope. These were the results of attempted generalizations based on limited 
experience. Scientific study has shown that such rules are not reliable, especially with refer¬ 
ence to minimum diameters of sheaves. 

Below is given a thorough method of properly adapting steel ropes to the work required 
of them, especial attention being given to the importance of the bending strain in determin¬ 
ing the proper working load of the rope. 

The steel used for the wire rope referred to in the diagram is usually called crucible cast 
steel and is assumed to have an average ultimate tensile strength of 85 gross tons, or 190,000 
pounds per square inch; 50,000 pounds is assumed as the proper working strain in the mate¬ 
rial, this strain being made up of the load itself, and that due to the bending of the wires 
over the drum. There are other grades of steel, known as “extra strong crucible cast steel” 
and “plow steel.” Their qualities are different from the grade used in the table, and, when 
they are desired, should be specially calculated for. In a general way the bending strain 
is expressed by the formula: 

E 

—Xa 

2 

S=-, in which formula : 

R 

S=strain per square inch due to bending. 

E=modulus of elasticity which for crucible cast steel is approximately 29,400,000. 
a=diameter of each individual wire. 

R=radius of drum upon which rope is wound. 

By making the proper divisions the formula is simplified to 
14,700,000 X a 

S=- 

R 

For ropes of 19 wires to the strand the diameter of each individual wire is almost exactly 
1/15 part of the diameter of the rope, and the formula given for strain in the diagram 
has been transformed to suit the diameter of the rope itself as well as the diameter of the 
drum instead of the radius of the drum, because it was thought that the formula so expressed 
was much more convenient for use. 

The load which wire rope can carry when wound over different drums has been fig¬ 
ured in the following manner. If the drum is infinitely large, the load would be equal to 
50,000 pounds X the actual cross-section of steel in the rope. Suppose, now, for example, 
that the strain produced by bending would amount to 20,000 pounds, then the remaining 
strength, which would be useful in carrying the load, would be only 30,000 pounds, and 
by figuring in this way for different diameters of drums and ropes, the lines are found as 
shown on the diagram. The formula for load (L), given on the diagram, is worked out on 
this basis, and from this it will be seen that the loads given at the extreme right on the 
diagram are not at all the maximum loads the rope will carry, but are simply the loads which 
thev will carrv when used on 20 foot drums. Larger drums are, of course, seldom used, and 
it is an easy matter to figure out the proper working load for extreme cases. 

69 




As to the actual factor of safety it will be seen from the foregoing that it is equal to 
looooo/ ri1 - q Q/if) 

/ 50000 01 ° 

This co-efficient may appear somewhat small, because we are used to speak of factors 
of safety of six or larger. This is, however, only because of ignorance of the actual condi¬ 
tions. As a matter of fact we have been working with much lower factors of safety. It is 
well known that ropes often carry much higher loads than those shown on the diagram, in 
which case they, of course, are strained more than 50,000 pounds per square inch, when the 
strain due to bending is taken into consideration, which is just as actual as the strain due to the 
load. In fact it is more so, because there is not always a full load on the rope every time 
it is hoisted, but there is the full bending strain. The loads shown on the diagram agree very 
closely with those used in the best mining practice. 

STANDARD WIRE HOISTING ROPE. 

This rope is usually made with a hemp center, which adds to the pliability and dimin¬ 
ishes internal friction in bending. With a wire center the weight is about ten per cent 
more than with hemp. 

The choice of rope depends upon three main points: (1) load; (2) smallest diameter 
over which used; (3) liability to external wear. As the question involves so many points when 
the material, number of wires and diameter of rope are to be decided upon, a general state¬ 
ment cannot be made to cover all the principles. Those ropes made of softer materials are 
more pliable, but have less total strength and wear more quickly. Those of harder materials 
are stiff, but suffer less from surface abrasion. 

The rope generally used for hoisting is called crucible cast steel rope, except for great 
depths, in which cases plough steel rope is used. 

The materials as arranged in the table of sizes, given below, are in the order of their 
hardness. Their stiffness and ultimate tensile strength are shown in the same order.

FLAT WIRE ROPE. 

Flat wire rope is composed of several round ropes, whose diameter is equal to the 
thickness of the flat rope required laid side by side and sewed together with iron or annealed 
cast steel wire. The ropes composing it are alternately of right-hand and left-hand twist, 
and have four strands, being without either a hemp or wire center. This peculiarity in their 
manufacture is rendered necessary in order to permit the insertion of the sewing wire and 
to make the rope more compact. The number of wires composing each strand is generally 
seven, or, if especially ordered, nineteen or a combination of large and small wires. 

In determining the proper size of flat rope to do certain work, the formula herein given 
for round rope must be used to ascertain strains due to the bending of the wires. In apply¬ 
ing this formula, it must be remembered that in flat rope the actual diameter of the wires is 
greater than that of the wires in round hoisting rope of the same diameter, this being due 
to the flat rope being made with fewer wires to the strand. The reel center is the smallest 
diameter over which the rope is bent and this should be the radius used in the formula. 

While makers of rope usually state that flat rope has the same breaking strain as round 
rope of same weight and material, this is strictly true only when the diameter of the wires 
composing both ropes is the same.

The wire in in. rope is approximately .0G25 in diameter, and rope .05375. 

The chief drawbacks to the use of flat rope are first cost and the rapid wear of the 
sewing wires.

FRICTION BAND CLUTCH. 

The clutch shown in Plate 741 is our standard band friction clutch and is a most simple, 
durable and effective device for driving hoisting drums. The collar, when moved towards 
the drum, operates a toggle. The motion is transmitted through a steel lever and a pow¬ 
erful pull is given to the friction band, tightening it around the clutch ring. 

The band is lined with wooden segments, which can be easily replaced when worn out.
